1 John 4:11 KJV

1 John 4:11 KJV

The general love of God to the world should induce a universal love among mankind.  We should be followers of him as his dear children.  The objects of the divine love should be the objects of ours.  Shall we refuse to love those whom the eternal God hath loved?   We should be admirers of his love, and lovers of his love and consequently lovers of those whom he loves.  To love  one another here means fellow Christians or believers in Christ Jesus.
 
The Christian love is an assurance of the divine inhabitation:  If we love one another.   Now, God dwells in us, not by any visible presence, or immediate appearance to the eye for (no man hath seen God at any time, v12), but by his Spirit.  Jesus tells us, By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another, John 13:35.
